Nurturing Nurses
Hello, we are Helen & Karen and we are the founders of Nurturing Nurses and Infant Massage. We each bring over 25 years of experience in Neonatal and Paediatric Nursing and still work in clinical practice in a Special Care Nursery in a Brisbane based Maternity unit. We are Certified Infant Massage Instructors and want to share with you the extensive benefits of Infant Massage for newborn babies and premature babies through online videos .
We have a wealth of experience of the developing newborn and are both mothers ourselves, so we understand how difficult it can be sometimes to attend in-person classes in the ante-natal and newborn phase. We offer to you a series of online videos for purchase to teach you the benefits of Infant Massage, whether you are seeking a remedy for digestive issues such as colic, or if you simply want to enhance bonding and attachment with your baby. These videos, once purchased are yours to keep and watch any time you want, working through at your own pace. Videos can be purchased via direct links on our website. We also offer a range of free educational videos through our YouTube channel relating to aspects of Infant Massage and ‘All Things Baby’.

What is a Doula?
Today, a doula is typically someone who acts as a hub of support, referrals and resources for a person during a major life transition, usually related to birth. Doulas have a holistic approach that considers both mental and physical well-being. Services vary significantly but can include emotional reassurance, information based on scientific evidence, and comfort techniques like massage and nourishing food. The role is not medical, and doulas cannot treat, diagnose or cure any disease.

Why Hiring Postpartum In-Home Support Can Transform Your Recovery
If I had my way, support would be non-negotiable and, in an ideal world, would have government funding, so everyone can access the help we all deserve. We can shape our families' and therefore babies' complete outcomes (and lives!) by providing education, but above all, support in those early days. It is essential for a mother who has given birth to rest and recover.
